Hi @Andu_S — quick heads‑up on a navigation issue.

The only reply on this thread is a “Moved:” link that points to:

/Oracle-Archive/Re-Top-Contributors-June-2025/...

For non‑Oracle members this resolves to Access Denied (standard Khoros behavior when a public pointer links to a private board). In other words, regular users can’t see the content that was moved, and the pointer left here is effectively a dead link.

Request (easy fix):

Please move that item to a public archive board (e.g., Announcements Archive/The Lounge), or
If it must live in the Oracle area, remove the public pointer and re‑post a public summary here.

Longer‑term, consider adjusting Khoros so pointers to restricted boards aren’t shown to users without permission.

@computergeek541 — flagging you only so you’re aware the link is inaccessible to non‑Oracles. Looks like an honest workflow quirk. 🐛

Hiding official announcements behind role‑gated links confuses readers and undermines transparency; a public archive keeps recognition posts visible to everyone.

Cheerio!

The link isn't supposed to be accessible. it's only a placeholder to indicate that a message moderation action took place. Members are not supposed to be replying in the top contributorss thread in the announcements section. The member who replied previously is aware of that.

Thanks for the clarification, @computergeek541.

Totally understood that members shouldn’t reply in the Top Contributors announcement. The concern isn’t about access—it’s the UX/security impact of leaving a clickable link that resolves to Access Denied. For non‑Oracles, that looks like a broken or gated announcement and it trains users to click dead links, which is poor security hygiene on a support site.

Constructive asks (easy Khoros fixes):

Replace the live hyperlink with a non‑clickable moderator note.
Example: “Moved to internal Oracle archive (no public content changed).”
(Khoros: move the post but do not leave a public pointer, or leave text only.)
If an archive is needed, create a public ‘Announcements Archive’.
Move recognition posts there so they remain visible to everyone.
Hide pointers to restricted boards for users without permission.
(Khoros setting: don’t display moved‑message links when the destination is private.)

This isn’t about granting access.. it’s about eliminating dead links and confusion. Clear pointers help new members trust what they’re clicking and reduce back‑and‑forth in the forum.

Appreciate the work from Oracles, just aiming to tighten the workflow so the community experience stays clean and secure for everyone. 🙏
@CS_Agent tagging for visibility.
